Thought this was interesting.

In the first photo, look at the eagles wings. Notice how they arch upwards at each end, sloping down towards the eagles head. It's in the shape of a 'V'. The wings are extended in upwards motion, in that moment before they begin their downthrust, lifting the eagle higher, reaching towards a higher level. It's an image of power and control, delicate grace.



In this next photo, notice how the elks Horns curve upwards, towards the sky, each point seeming to rise to a higher level than the next. It is the same upward arching shape as the eagles wings, the tips extended to the highest point, descending in the middle, to the elks head, the lowest point of the arch, in a way, implicating that it is the mind which is the lowest point of awareness, and it is in the tips of the points which yearn to reach beyong the earthly plane.



In this photo, the mountains are shaped in a similar 'V'" pattern. Rising to the edges on either side, giving suggestion that, just beyond view, there is a higher point to reach. The center of the photo is lower in elevation, as the eagles head, the elks head. It gives an indication that there are new points to rise to from the central focus.




Last, the comparison of the above images, to the final image, shows how human spirit is related to nature spirit. Arms upraised, in the shape of a V, reaching upwards, searching, embracing, holding the sky, to that which is above and beyond the self.



Please add your own images of Spirit in Nature!

nature is beautiful to me in all its manifestations, but home is where the heart is.

These images show how, given the remotest of possibility, the spirit of life finds a way to root and grow.

This is a little off theme of Spirit in Nature, but, I thought it appropriate because it shows how, in unlikely places, the spirit of beauty and life perseveres.

Spirit of love in nature:

[alchemy63]

The spirit for life, the will to survive, is so strong in the seed that it pushes past its' concrete barrier, to find the energy, the warmth, the light, and the love given by the sun.



The tree reaches beyond the force of gravity, stands against the storms, with a spirit of endurance, determination, and strength to recieve the life giving rays of the light.

Thank you . I have more nature photos to share, what would you like to see?

[alchemy63]

I would like to see anything nature related that makes you feel a certain spirit, for example, freedom, love, power, hope, etc., and, if you could, but, you don't have to, say a word or two about the spirit you feel. Thanks!
